Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2151837A2] There is provided a switch including a supporting terminal 21 assembled to a base 10; a movable contact piece 30, made of a band-shaped conductive material bent to a substantially J-shaped cross section, having a movable contact 31 at one end and having an intermediate portion rotatably supported by a rotation receiving portion 24 of the supporting terminal 21; a plunger 40 accommodated so as to be movable up and down in an internal space formed by fitting a housing 60 to the base 10; and a coil spring 50 including a forced dissociation bent portion 53 at one end and being rotatably supported by the plunger 40. In particular, the plunger 40 is moved up and down to slidably move one end of the coil spring 50 while pressure contacting the other end edge of the movable contact piece 30 to invert the movable contact piece 30 and contact or separate the movable contact 31 to and from a fixed contact 26, and to lock a distal end of a forced dissociation bent portion 53 to the other end edge of the movable contact piece 30 and exert a shear force on the movable contact 31 of the movable contact piece 30.
